I am completing a variety of challenges this year for Chester Zoo because I want to help raise vital funds for EEHV research

EEHV is a deadly virus that affects young elephants both in zoos and in the wild. 80% of elephants struck by EEHV will die. Your donations will help us fight the disease as we search for a cure.

Story

This year I have decided to go BIG! Mammoth in fact 😜.

During 2019 I will be completing a challenge a month in order to support Chester Zoo's Never Forget campaign. Challenges are varied and range from crochet to a half Ironman. Follow my adventures on Instagram @mymammothyear, like my page on FB, My Mammoth Year and my blog page https://mymammothyear.home.blog

The Never Forget campaign aims to raise funding to support research into the elephant endotheliotropic herpes virus (EEHV). EEHV typically strikes young Asian elephants during the weaning phase and can be fatal. It affects both wild and zoo elephant populations. Tragically, Chester zoo has lost elephant calves to this deadly virus. Lots is still unknown about EEHV and how to treat it, so more research is vitally important.

As an elephant keeper at Chester zoo EEHV is never far from my thoughts. Please help me to make a difference and secure a future for these truly awesome creatures. Every penny counts!
